What do you say in classical Chinese when playing basketball?

Playing basketball can be called "bow" or "cuju" in classical Chinese. Both words have meanings related to ball games.

"Juju" refers to riding a horse to play ball. It is an ancient ball game, which is more common in court nobles. Cuju, on the other hand, is the behavior of the ancients playing football on the grass, which can be understood as modern football. So if you use classical Chinese to describe playing basketball, you can choose the right words according to the specific situation.
